Sakamoto Days is great!

Aurora

rather have Hunterxhunter

Ian O

Solo Levelling immediately. I promise.

Mango Foam

Please put Monster on the next poll too, however for a shorter option by the same author, Pluto is great too. Since they keep asking about non violent shows though: March Comes in Like a Lion, Kids on the Slope, The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, and Silver Spoon (same author as Full Metal Alchemist but about an agricultural school).

Maseter

I really think they'd get a kick out of love is war dubbed

Hollywood

cade-carter

christ ill never understand any of the praise solo leveling gets. Easily the most mid show ever

Guy

Yes this

Kaylee

I think they’d love danganronpa the animation.

Gattsu

I know there are quite a few in line already, but just wanted to drop a mention of "To Your Eternity" as it is right up your alley imo.

Ray

I don't know if they could handle that.

Vendeholt Reacts

Arcane is Monday is what we can add right now.

James

Tapoki’s Original Sin would be a good one to automatically watch as it’s still receiving a little bit of hype, is currently #21 on MAL, and out rated Solo Leveling S2.

Jordan Butler

Any update on when the new schedule will come into effect?

Sak Do

erased

Roberto Sanchez

Them watching re zero might be peak

romai

-Erased -Parasyte: The Maxim -Made in Abyss. Some good mystery is always fun

Markus Kirsch

i would recommend mob psycho probably right up your alley

Vendeholt Reacts

I don't expect them to get emotional but Carrie allegedly cried to this Mugan Train movie they said lol. I will keep Your lie in April in mind tho!

Vendeholt Reacts

thank you its fixed now

Daniel23White

you should also react to something different like Your Lie in April. i think it might have a chance of making you emotional for once😂

Hello, when is arcane coming?

Saekoa

Re:Zero and Monster are the best on this list, followed by One Punch Man—specifically season 1. Spy x Family is cute, and also quite good. Solo Leveling has a generic story, but the animation is incredible. The strong emphasis on family might appeal to them, though. As for Arcane, I find it to be the most overrated among these options. Predictable storytelling disguised as something deeper than it actually is.

rusty

its too long and too early for them, they will get brain fog. They need to keep watching more shorter anime's first.

Sam M

Patiently waiting with great anticipation for the inevitable Hunter x Hunter

rusty

Arcane is going to blow their minds!

Monster is fantastic, but it's a psychological thriller type of show with little action in it (mostly). Also, it's a relatively long run with over 70 episodes. If they are not too invested in slower type shows, then Idk if they will fully enjoy the experience. As a big Monster fan myself thou, if you're the type of person to sink into detective thrillers, I urge you to give it a try. I promise you will treasure the experience.

This is very late but another very popular hit that would bring in people is Avatar the Last Airbender series. Not sure if you've watched but that would be a big one!

Thu Hương Trần

Solo Leveling have good visual & animation, epic fighting scene. People might complain about the flat plot but sometimes viewers come to anime just for entertainment. So I understand Solo's popularity. Also, keep in mind that Solo won the Anime of the year at Crunchyroll anime award (instead of Frieren :)))) and officially confirmed K-Live action (Byeon Woo Seok as Sung Jin-woo - he is popular actor too). Korean people have the best marketing strategy by taking Solo's popularity and controversy as advantage. It will be pretty smart to follow their Hallyu flow. Also, i recommend watching Korean movies like Parasite. It will increase followers for your channel.

Sousou511

Orb: On the movement of the earth, it would be so good and it would lead to a lot of discussions 🙏

Richard Ramirez

when does it end? :)

Darrion Reed

They would love Monster it suited towards an mature audience

Daniel23White

if yall really wanna hit that 100k on youtube, watch it👀

Daniel23White

i know i've said this a couple of times already, but i believe your best option for the next show would be Squid game. The hype around it, interesting plot and it being relatively short really would be the best choice for August TRUST ME!

Mariacake

Yes to this!!

Mariacake

I know right! Let them see other genres~ I’m hoping they watch “My Love Story!! (Ore monogatari)” for rom/com 🤭

Mariacake

Get well soon, Carrie!

Mariacake

SL is not bad but I think it’s not a good fit bec of how many of the people who watched it can’t name most of the characters in the show 🤣

Plant

I would love them to see Arcane. It is for a change a western show and style plus is more story driven. It is somewhat short with only 18 episodes over 2 season and is finished, which makes it good to see i would say. One Punch Man and others are cool but they too focus on the fighting. love your reacts guys

Vendeholt Reacts

Thanks! That's definitely something we should discuss.

Rinnzu Rosendale

If you guys do Arcane, Don't look up any characters of the game. Its a much better experience blind. It has nothing to do with the game, there is literally zero context to be gained. It just spoils things.

Kaiin Retsu

So you are aware, a season 2 of Frieren actually airs starting in January. If y'all end up enjoying this first season, it might be worth looking in to adding a weekly reaction to the new season as it airs. Could be good for discoverability on YT too, if something big happens and people want to see other people responding to those scenes while they are still fresh in their own minds. The patreon 3 weeks early might diminish that fresh in their minds concept from week to week, but a lot of fans wait for a season to be complete and binge watch it, so if you are releasing regularly, by the time those fans get to their binge watch, your content will already be out there. Just food for thought, only one episode weekly can easily be slid in around other shows.

Alan Vilca

me gustaria que vean un anime estilo boku no hero academia(peleas) naruto (drama, peleas y superacion personal), haikyuu (deporte, motivacional) o the apothecary diaries (drama, romance y misterio)

prison school would be perfect

are they positive about gay stuff. I heard arcane had to much gay shit in it

Iris

ARCANE IS A MUSTTTT

Sci-fi Knight

Really hard to find Monster in english dub but its on youtube in english dub which is nice.

Barhas Gansuh

Discord link?

shojo sommelier

I think Arcane would be their best bet to have a good time! It's made in english, so it has natural-feeling acting and no need to read subtitles. Plus its a good balance of emotion and action to keep them invested. I think the others on this list are a bit too niche and, for lack of a better word, "anime" for their tastes, Solo Leveling and Re:Zero are definitely not beginner-friendly. Just a heads up in case you want to tell the crew: Arcane has a lot of layers, so it rewards viewers who remember things and pay attention to details with a more immersive experience!

Sci-fi Knight

Arcane is winning this poll for sure and I'm happy it is. Only 18 heavy action pack story heavy episodes. After that in terms of their audience spy x family or Monster but im more on monster. Solo leveling is a good show but not that story heavy. Re:zero is not a starter anime and one punch man would be good if season 2 wasn't that lack luster compared to season 1. I do love all these shows but I only acting based off what I think they would enjoy not what I would enjoy watching most.

Sci-fi Knight

Monster is the longest series on the list but probably the second most interesting story(best story to me) on the list.

Sci-fi Knight

I agree vox machina they will love for sure but it can be on a future watch list

Duck-Mc-Muffin

No Violet Evergarden 🥲

Thu Hương Trần

personally I do not like Solo leveling though i haven't watched it yet. Very subjective but this show should come last. but this might me an interesting choice because Solo was an adaptation from manhwa/ Korean webnovel so this is one of fews anime with korean setup.

Hank A

That's what I'm saying. I actually really enjoy watching SL. But I can also acknowledge it's objectively not a great show. There's little plot, no character development to speak of. It's just aura and fighting

Jonathan Lopez

Solo!

Fabio Vinicius

Please HunterXHunter, isnt even on the list but is a must T-T

romai

One day Re:Zero will get the recognition it deserves but Arcane is ok too. ☺️

Marcos Olguin

Solo Leveling Stans need to chill

Stephon Holmes

Arcane

Zephyrs

Objectively, Arcane would be the most "reactable" show, and has depth that can build discussion other than "Oh cool", but these are all shows I imagine a reactor will eventually watch, just not sure how some of the popular basic shounens which I do really enjoy, would mesh with your group dynamic. I believe Arcane is a show that adults can also consume, the rest, excluding maybe monster, which is also a show with adult tropes, are cool in the sense that the power rangers are cool. Until you are an 'anime' anime fan, then I dont see those other titles being interesting for you. All the animes on this list have a special place in my heart, but yeah, in a pure objective sense arcane is probably the best. Thoughhhh you might get more clicks with the traditional shounens, so idk, but the content thatd come out of arcane would likely be more engaging Spy X Family is adorable, cant hate it ever lol

Zephyrs

Why is it so low in votes? Because literally 3/3 of those animes you mentioned have a high volume of lolis. You are on the epstein files bro....idc if youre watching for the plot, literally 3/3.....pick at least 1 normal one!

Rei Jin

Sorry to hear about Carrie. Hope she gets well and recovers soon!

Rei Jin

Invincible would be a crazy pick😝😭

Sincerely_amira

Yeah Arcane 100%

Dale

How is Re:Zero so low in votes? 😭😭 also I would add apothecary diaries & Mushoku Tensei hopefully to the next vote 😁👌🏼

Tony

Let’s go Arcane!!

Briana R

I wish To your Eternity was an option

Marquie

That's your opinion. The ones who voted for it clearly disagree. Let's not act like the anime police.

Hank A

there is no reason Solo Leveling or Re:Zero should be on this list. Those are not good shows. Folks need to be a bit more objective

zishan

Kengen ashura or invincible

Kaito Fuuma

arcane is certainly much better option than the other title in the poll next would be spyxfamily, the rest are really not much. especially solo leveling, there's really no story in there and most of the time the mc just there to look cool

Nicholas Gallegos

None of these 🫩🫩

Vendeholt Reacts

They definitely will sometime, that one is a must, don't worry!

Matthew Molnar

Also love the re:Zero call ❤️

Matthew Molnar

Shooting my shot for a sleeper pick. How about ‘Your Lie in April’ for a switch up?

HikiFan

Get well soon Carrie! After they have finished vinland, frieren en DS, can they let us know what type of story/show they liked most? So we can make better recommendations. I feel like the poll is not really reflecting their taste and people seem to forget they are new to anime. But I could be wrong.

s4ean

A lot of people vote impulsively for what they enjoy the most, or want to commensurate with others reactions too... but you don't always get that when the reactors don't enjoy it the same or have the same perspective... I agree, Spy X Family seems like a more enjoyable watch for them particularly, but you never know.

Daniel23White

SQUID GAME IS SHORT AND YALL WILL GET HOOKED ON IT AS SOON AS IT STARTS TRUSTT ME

Daniel23White

SQUID GAME!!!!!

Matsumoto Erkin

I agree with the comment saying most of these shows likely may not be their cup of tea and may feel repetitive theme with shows they have seen so far. So I highly recommend trying out “Kaguya Sama: love is war ” because it is an easy to follow comedy with a great English dub(although sub is better). It is very different from what they have seen but also very enjoyable as a comedy with a story and jokes are not childish eggy typical Japanese comedy anime so it is perfect for them. I also think they can also try popular yet new Tv shows or even Kdrama such as “Severance” or things like Squid game

Hollywood

All great story telling but I don't think they like Full Metal. I highly recommend Avatar the last Airbender too, it started off childish but they'll have fun with that.

Izumi_The_Neko

I highly recommend watching or reading To your eternity And vox machina. (This one is based off dungeon and dragons ) Or atleaat getting these in some polls

Hollywood

Dang no Castlevania???

Hollywood

Lets go Arcane!!!!!!!

Hollywood

too long

Hollywood

Eww no bro, guys a pervert

Daniel23White

(This isn't an anime, i think it's a K-drama (korean drama))... WATCH SQUID GAME!! Right now it's prolly the most watched and hyped show + it's the most watched Netflix show of all time. It's fairly short, 19 EP's, each an hour long. It can be a little gory, but the story is extremely interesting and I know you'd prolly like it. The show's last season came out like a week ago and people would LOVE to see (especially) parent's reactions to a show like that. Yall could maybe even start with one episode of all of the suggestions, but I know Squid Game would be an instant hit.

Hollywood

ARCANE! ARCANE! ARCANE!

Jay

I don't think these shows would be good for this group. You can already see the disconnect with the demon slayer reactions This group needs a good story that's easy to follow, with likeable characters, mature themes and thought invoking storyline I recommend Try Full Metal Alchemist Again ( Up until episode 5 ) ENG DUB Erased ( ENG DUB ) Avatar The Last Airbender

NobleLittleKing

A isekai anime would be a nice change of pace for once and It would be their first one I believe. I would probably replace solo leveling after completing demon slayer. Monster is a classic but I don't know to many who would appreciate it since they have not seen it. One punch is a easy gateway anime with not much to think about. Base on the list I think re:zero offers a good balance for now. But I guess it's up to the voters. Either way I hope you all enjoy your experience!

Vendeholt Reacts

They didn't say they liked it after watching episode 1, but I will check if they want to watch it after Demon Slayer or Vinland. Hopefully we can pick up our pace by then.

cultured.

Would love a Monster vibe. AOT = Demon Slayer/Vinland Death note = Monster (or FMAB) But who am I kidding. I'll watch it all. Great picks 😌

iSwearItsArt ForSure

Monster is great but too long. SL is boring (the first season) and just not their time, unless the played a lot of video games (which I just doubt). Re:Zero is too anime. Spy X Family is a cosy anime. Not too much action but definitely fun. I can see them enjoy it. Arcane is a overall great story, animation and music. No need to know it came from a game since it genuinely well made. OP-Man could be the best fit. Very funny with a lot of action.
